I loved the movie Changing Lanes. It wasn't the cleanest story in the world or anything like that, but it attempted to take a good solic look at ethics and how we should live our lives. I commend that, I really do. Because of it, I can't help but question people that didn't like the film, wondering if they "got it". Usually, they didn't..and that's okay, if a little depressing for me. What I don't get is when religious people find the tiniest fault in a film or anything, really, and try to censor it completely as a result. As if anything is completely perfect, I think the Jewish and Christian scriptures say that nothing is. Why then do fundamentalists of any religion, then, do this sort of thing? I mean, appreciate the fact that this is a Hollywood movie with a message that anyone of faith or ethical superiority can appreciate.

Religious Jews Protest Affleck Film on El Al Plane:

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Angry Ultra-Orthodox Jews covered a movie screen with blankets on an El Al flight from Zurich earlier this week in protest at the film "Changing Lanes," starring Ben Affleck, which they found offensive. A spokeswoman for Israel's national carrier El Al said the incident lasted only a few minutes and was resolved by the captain who decided to cut short the in-flight screening during the flight to Tel Aviv Sunday. Israel's Ma'ariv daily quoted passengers as saying a group of ultra-Orthodox Jews screamed at and insulted the flight crew when they refused to turn off the movie. Amateur video footage showed a group of ultra-Orthodox women covering the screen with blankets and arguing with passengers who wanted to watch the film -- an action thriller about a lawyer and a businessman involved in a car crash. El Al issued a statement apologizing for the "unpleasantness experienced by all the passengers." Ultra-Orthodox Jews eschew television and films which depict lifestyles and dress they consider to be immodest and offensive.
